Please accept our sincères sympathy.
Paul and I will plant a tree in Israel for Franco. It’s a Jewish tradition where when the spirit of a newly deceased goes to heaven his soul stay on earth. Planting a tree in honour of Franco will give an earthy address for his soul to rest and a small part of him will always stay with us in his own tree. So the ground you walk is the same as Franco’s tree in Israel. It will grow and provide shade and winds , the branches growing to heaven and the roots well planted on earth .
Sentite condoglianze a tutta la famiglia.
It has been great knowing you my friend, always looked forward to see you here every year for olive harvest but you didn’t make this year we will sure miss you. My condolences to the family

You were a kind, loving man and you wore your heart on your sleeve. We will forever miss you and always remember you. I will never forget my nickname as being “Brutta” as you said it with so much love. Rest in peace zio. Deepest Condolences to the whole Coniglio Family. We love you all.
Even though I only met Frank a handful of times, I could tell he was a genuine, loving person. He will be missed.

God cares for the widow and the fatherless in their time of grief, He is your comforter and he will heal the broken hearted and bind up their wounds. His love for you will never change . Frank is now walking on streets of gold with Jesus . The lord surely said to Frank “welcome home my son my good and faithful servant, now you have rest”.

Caro Franco,
Voglio ringraziare Maria per averci fatto incontrare e voglio ringraziare te per averci considerato parte della tua famiglia regalandoci premurose e affettuose attenzioni.
Un amico come te buono e onesto non si dimentica tanto facilmente.
Qui mancherai a tutti.
Mancherà tantissimo il tuo affetto a Maria,
Mancherà il tuo affetto a Maryanne e a Francesco,
Mancherà il tuo affetto a tutti i tuoi parenti e mancherà anche la tua sincerità a tutti i tuoi amici.
Ricorderò sempre i bei momenti trascorsi e condivisi insieme in tante indimenticabili circostanze.
Ora che non ci sei più,perché Gesù ti ha chiamato nel suo eterno regno, tutto sarà diverso ma niente potrà cambiare l’affetto che ci legava e la nostra amicizia rimarrà per sempre con tutti i bei ricordi!
Hai lasciato un immenso e incolmabile vuoto in tutte le persone che hai voluto bene e che ti hanno voluto tanto bene.
Grazie per il grande dono che mi hai lasciato: la tua vera, sincera e disinteressata amicizia!
Caro Franco ti ricorderò NON come un AMICO ma come un FRATELLO sempre generoso e sempre disponibile in ogni circostanza!
CIAO CARO FRANCO
TI SALUTO CON AFFETTO E CON UN GRANDE ABBRACCIO!!!

Le distanze ci separavano ma ogni volta che ci siamo visti abbiamo incontrato una persona buona, gentile e signorile. Questo era Franco per me e mia sorella : un gentiluomo d ‘altri tempi che oggi ormai sono molti rari. Adesso Franco ha messo fine a sofferenze terrene e si godrà in pace l’ eternità dell ‘anima in alto lassù nella luce dove meritano di andare le persone buone come lui. Non ci dimenticheremo certo di te. Ciao Franco riposa in pace
Le mie più sentite condoglianze cara Maria per la mancanza del tuo amato Franco.
Riposi in pace.
Cara Maria ho saputo della triste notizia , mi associo al tuo dolore, ti voglio bene e speriamo di vederci presto.0

It’s with heavy hearts that we express our deepest and loving condolences, to our dearest sister Maria, our niece Maryanne, our nephew Francesco and family.
On the passing of a dear husband, father , grandfather and our brother Franco.
Be comforted by the beautiful memories you shared with your husband and father. The care you all gave him over the years was remarkable. Franco tried very hard to stay with you but the call from the Holy Spirit had come to stop his suffering and
guide him to the Kingdom of God to his eternal resting place. Maria, your strength, dedication and determination helped Franco to be with you for a long time. Be comforted that he will always be with you in spirit and in your heart ♥️ forever.
Sympathies to you …dear sister, to all who loved him and the Coniglio family. 🙏 💙 🥀♥️
Love always, Francesca, Fortunato Gratta and family ♥️💙💙💙🥀
Amica Maria siamo uniti al tuo dolore e quello della tua famiglia…
ECCO L’ALBA DI UN NUOVO GIORNO
“Gesù ha detto: “Io sono la resurrezione e la vita”. Ha assicurato che chi vive credendo in Lui non muore per sempre. Ha mostrato nella morte non l’annullamento angoscioso e crudele, ma L’Inizio di una nuova Vita; non un portone d’uscita ma una porta d’ingresso.
Caro Franco ecco il mio saluto e quello della mia famiglia unito al saluto di chi ti ha sempre voluto bene e continuerà a volertene, tu ci precedi alla casa del Padre, in questo giorno siamo tutti uniti intorno a te per l’ultimo saluto terreno, per dirti che il nostro bene e per sempre.
Resta, sì, alla morte il suo peso di pena, ma quanta luce di speranza e di conforti interiori alleviano quel peso, rasserenando chi parte e chi resta .”
Famiglia Caruso (Antonio, Giusi, Demis, Cinzia, Joe, Kiara e Serena)
To Maria, Maryanne, Francesco, and family,
My heart goes out to all of you at this difficult time. Wishing you all peace, comfort, courage, and lots of love at this time of sorrow. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Franco was a great man and will always be remembered for being a warm, welcoming, and kind person to those he met. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind and for this, he will be remembered.
Undoubtedly, losing a spouse or parent leaves an empty place in your heart, but God in his mercy offers comfort with the promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ. This means you will one day have a joyous reunion in the kingdom of God.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May Franco’s soul, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Our deepest condolences 🙁
Maria; Peter and Linda
